Just ducking in to say...

 ...after a Day of Travel yesterday that seemed to check all the Murphy's Laws (thanks rimturse  for pointing that out), we are back home in France for the summer.  We have a ton of stuff to do over the next coming weeks while J is here with us (before he must return to Lebanon for work), and I pray Murphy keeps the rest of his laws to himself as we try to deal with them.

There might be more posting as we settle into what I hope will be a peaceful season.
